Wylie has definitely not been the best to me ever since kindergarten. Staff have been rude and disrespectful when I was having a breakdown instead of being helpful. I was also told a teacher once made fun of me because I was crying. Other staff have been nice to me though, more so when I hit high school. They've been much more supportive of me

They do their best to let the students have fun. I would like to see the amount of money for all sports and extra-curriculars be even and not go into just football.

I would have to rate Wylie high school three stars due to its blindness to racism and domestic abuse. A few students have been physically abused on campus and the administration loves to keep it a secret. Although it has its faults, Wylie has a wonderful academic study.

We moved to Abilene last school year and purposely bought a home in the Wylie school district so our son could go to high school there. He was going to be a freshman, and anyone's first year of high school can be difficult. Wylie High School made it even worse. The students were not welcoming at all...
